Could you maybe pm / email me the start finish point please? I didnt say I was coming.

We might be able to do the run if we can book accommodation on the Sat and Sunday nights!

You didn't say you are coming,but want the Start and Finish points?? :rofl:

Start is South Ayrshire,look at Ayr,Troon or Prestwick,for Accommodation,and finish is Not too far from that too.(within 15-20 minutes from Start point).

If you get somewhere booked, let me know.
As said,not publishing exact info on a public forum,as others do also when doing meets....Avoids unwanted attention :D

Yes of course I would like to know the start / finish points - so I could book accommodation near to them to make sure the logistics were right for me. I didn't want to start or end the run and then find I've got to drive another 50 miles in a wrong direction.

I'll have s look at the map and hotels asap and let you know if it's doable for us.

I live in South Lanarkshire, so expect start shouldn't be far away. Yes you won't miss my Z4 its sterling grey with a red roof. Look forward to meeting everyone.

It's a 3hour / 170 mile trip to a start point for me. I was trying to organise accommodation for the Saturday night and maybe bale out ( if the route was suitable) to visit family in the Castle Douglas area .

This wouldn't be Jacks old z4 by any chance,as not too many 3.0 smg autos in Grey,with a Red roof, I would imagine,haha?

Nice car there if it is :thumbsup:

See you at the meet :driving:

I could but I dont know any details.

Is the run going to be fast do you think? You know the route and the pace you need to set to get around in the time. My car is new and still bedding
in - it hasn't even done 1k yet so i don't want to be flogging it just yet!
